How a massacre killed an Afghan family's hope

KABUL — Tarana dressed up for the break in a specially tailored bright green robe, a 12-year-old Afghan girl vehement to set off with her family for a religious festival that a decade of war had so far spared.

After a suicide bomber ripped excluding the lives of Tarana's family and scores of others, the image of her standing horrified in the blood-stained up came for many to symbolise Afghanistan's violent present and its uncertain unborn.

"Suddenly there was an explosion. It was as if the world had overturned, as if all the walls had collapsed on me," Tarana Akbari told AFP, surrounded by weeping relatives.

"When I could stand up, I saw that everybody was around me on the ground, really bloody. I was definitely, really scared," said the girl, whose name means "melody" in English.
